Seed amplification assays for diagnosing synucleinopathies: the issue of influencing factors

Background: The prion-like misfolding and aggregation of α-synuclein (α-syn) is involved in the pathophysiology of Parkinson’s disease and other synucleinopathies. Seed amplification assays (SAAs) are biophysical tools that take advantage on the peculiar properties of prion proteins by amplifying sm...
